This study evaluated the Langerhans cell density in chronically sun-exposed skin (hand) and non-exposed skin (buttock) in subjects that were divided into 4 age groups (20-40; 41-60; 61-80; greater ...than 81 years). Two markers (OKT-6 and anti-HLA-DR) were used to identify the Langerhans cells (LC), and their count was performed either on epidermal sheets (52 individuals) or skin sections (43 individuals). Three major findings result from this study: 1) there are more LC in the non-exposed skin than in the chronically sun-exposed area; 2) there were no age-related changes in LC counts, and 3) LC co-express the T6 and HLA-DR antigens.
The skeletal characteristics of dento-alveolar malocclusions condition the orthodontic therapy plane and produce typical and recurrent variables in the final shape in "Tweed occlusion". The study ...effects with templates made out of cephalometric average values of treatment in the different dental malocclusions, shows direction and amount of therapeutics correction. The behaviour of upper and lower incisors to achieve the normal occlusion is in relation with the characteristics of Angle's Class and with the necessity of therapeutics dental extractions.
A paracoccidioidomicose é doença sistêmica que atinge mais o sexo masculino do que o feminino. Modelos experimentais mostram maior sensibilidade dos machos do que as fêmeas à dsseminação da doença. A ...literatura médica é rica em relatos de casos de Pbmicose do trato genital masculino. A raridade da Pbmicose sistêmica na mulher devido à ação hormonal tornou inusitada a descrição de um caso com envolvimneto genital. Paciente de 57 anos, branca, procedente de Conchas (SP), queixando-se de dor abdominal há 10 anos, difusa, seguida de eólica periumbelical periódica, com diarréia e obstipação alternadas. Piorou desse quadro e evoluiu para abdome agudo cirúrgico. O anátomo patológico revelou Pbmicose no epiplon e ovário direito. A biópsia do endométrio mostrou endometrite crônica granulomatosa. A radiologia e a planigrafia revelaram nódulo parahilar direito. Os achados clínicos e laboratoriais permitiram explicar a provável origem do envolvimento genital.
